Cincinnati, Ohio

Called the “Queen City of the West,’ Cincinnati sits along the Ohio River, nestled into low rolling hills. Long an important river port town, Cincinnati was settled largely by Germans, and by the mid-1800s, was known as “Porkopolis” because of its importance as a meat-packing place. Cincinnati’s German heritage remains on display in the food-friendly festivals (Over-the-Rhine) and beer gardens (Mecklenburg Gardens). Cincinnati marks the unofficial crossing point between the South and Midwest. Modern residents of Cincinnati can boast of a trademark dish: Cincinnati Chili. It comes any of "five ways": as a straight-up bowl of chili, served over spaghetti, and topped with beans, cheese and/or onions. It is thought to have been the invention of Greek or Bulgarian immigrants to Cincinnati.

Garden Tomato Salsa

Reviewed on Aug. 19, 2008 by cookin'mama
This was a very good and fresh tasting salsa! I used a red pepper because that is what I had on hand, but I think a green pepper would have been better both visually and taste wise. I upped the amounts of both garlic and pickled peppers to account for our taste. I will definitely make this again; it complimented my husband's famous margaritas perfectly!

Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes

Reviewed on Aug. 18, 2008 by EBenhase
Oh my goodness! These were fantastic! I love the ease of boiling the garlic with the potatoes. I did increase the amount of garlic since we love it so much, and it still wasn't overpowering! Definitely the best mashed potatoes I've ever had...even reheated!
